Been there, done that. I've got a couple of different two-notch removers downstairs. One is a VAR RL413, the other is the Park FR-2. One of these two ALWAYS works. When you don't have the correct one, it does exactly as you say. If I recall, the FR-2 usually ends up fitting when the VAR is too big.

Could be worth the $$ to pick up the FR-2 if you don't already have one? If nothing else, you'll end up using it eventually, or you could donate it to the local co-op. Better yet, you could just go to the co-op and see if they have one...

Just make sure you use your QR skewer to sandwich the remover firmly into the freewheel. Don't be "that guy" who thinks he can win against a two-notch, such a human doesn't exist.

Good luck!
